Laminated Elastomeric Bearings are bearings that permit rotation and translation though the compression and shear of elastomeric layers “sandwiched” between layers of thin steel plates. Please see our Products page for “Elastomeric Bearings”.

Spherical Bearings are multi-rotational bearings that permit rotation by the movement of concave stainless steel surface over a matching convex surface that is covered with woven PTFE fabric. Please see our Products page for “TeXLon Spherical Bearings”.

No. All bearing types produced by Cosmec can be (and have been) used in many other varied applications, such as Hydro-Electric, Buildings, Piping, Vessels, and many others. Please call or email Cosmec’s Engineering Staff with your application.

Cosmec has extensive testing equipment and test presses available in-house – all are dedicated to the testing of full size bearings and for testing bearing materials. In the case of load testing bearings, Cosmec can test in excess of 2,700,000 lbf. of vertical load. All testing can be witnessed by the Owner’s specified Representatives.

Please contact your Salesperson for the status of your order. If you are unsure of who your Salesperson is or how to contact him/her, please see “Sales by State” under the Contacts section of our website.

The lead-time varies depending on the type and quantity of bearings required. Bearings requiring designing as well as the production of shop drawings typically require between 6 and 10 weeks for design and drafting. Production and delivery of these bearings is typically 12 to 14 weeks after the receipt of approved design calculations and approved shop drawings. Bearings that do not require designing can typically take much less time in both producing shop drawings and in production. Job-specific lead-times, however, can be accommodated. Please contact your Salesperson to discuss your specific lead-time requirements.
